The objective was to describe the effects of dietary Se concentration and source on fetal and maternal Se load when fed to nulliparous ewes during mid- to late pregnancy. Pregnant, nulliparous ewes (n = 32; 45.6 +/- 2.3 kg; 330 +/- 17 d of age) were randomly assigned to treatment diets. Treatments were 3.5 microg of Se.kg of BW(-1) x d(-1) from the basal Se in the diet (C1X); 75 (S20X) and 350 ...

A chicken 13K cDNA microarray was used to profile global gene expression after Salmonella enteritidis (SE) challenge of young chickens. Two F8 advanced intercross lines (AIL), broiler by Leghorn, and broiler by Fayoumi, were studied. Day-old chicks were orally inoculated with SE, and spleens were harvested at day 7 or 8 post-inoculation. The SE bacteria burden in the spleen was quantified. The ...

The 77Se NMR chemical shifts (δobsd(Se)) of p-YC6H4SeMe (1: Y ) H (a), OMe (b), Me (c), Cl (d), Br (e), COOR (f), and NO2 (g)) and p-YC6H4SePh (2) were determined or redetermined in chloroform-d. The δobsd(Se) values of 2, p-YC6H4SeR (R ) CN (3), Bz (4), H (5), Br (6), Et (7), C6H4Y-p (8), CHdCH2 (9), CHd CHCl-t (10), and CHCH2CCl2-cyclo (11)), 1,1′-[8-(p-YC6H4Se)C10H6Se]2 (12), and 1-(MeSe)-8-...

The crop may be an important site along the upper alimentary tract in which a humoral immune response against Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) is elicited locally. The mucosal immune response within the crop (ingluvies) of specific-pathogen-free (SPF) white leghorn (WL) chickens against SE was investigated. Three trials were conducted using SPF WL pullets at age 5-6 wk. Trial 1 consisted of 77 birds...

Brown rice is used as a bait-carrier for the avicide DRC-1339 (3-chloro-4-methylaniline) when baiting blackbirds (Icteridae). In March and April 1996 and 1997, we assessed non-target granivorous bird use of rice-baited plots placed in harvested corn and soybean fields in eastern South Dakota for 168 observation hours. In both years combined, we identified 10 and 14 granivorous species in corn a...
